Chapter 468: Sun Tzu Ming's version of 'Xiao Tiantian' (I)
The Extended Lincoln gracefully cut through the rainy winter nights, leaving the brightly lit airport behind and silently driving to Beverly Hills.
"Oprah"

"Oprah"
Cheng Long and the others chose Oprah in unison, and Sun Ziming looked at Jiang Peng.
"Brother Ming, Conan and Oprah's influence is still a little worse, I recommend that you still choose to be on the "Oprah Talk Show", and you and Oprah are friends, and Conan has no friendship with you."
Yes, on the one hand, they are friends, and on the other hand, they are unfamiliar people, and whoever changes them will choose their own friends, not to mention that this friend has more influence. Sun Ziming couldn't help but take out his cigarette, and was silent for a long time before he said quietly: "Dapeng, you are right, but I chose to be on "Late Night Talk Show". β
"Why?"
Sun Ziming pointed to his heart and sighed: "Conscience! Conan helped us when we couldn't open the propaganda situation. No matter what he thought at the time, we have to pay him back for this favor. I know Americans are cold, but I want us to be a little bit warmer and warmer in our actions. Roc, explain it to Oprah. β
Jiang Peng reluctantly picked up the car phone and dialed Oprah's number, Sun Ziming thought about it, and then took the phone from him, "Miss Oprah, I'm Ming." I'm sorry, I owe Conan a favor. β
β¦β¦
With the aftermath of the crew of "Rush Hour", Conan's "Late-Night Talk Show" received an unprecedented 21.04 million viewers, beating "Oprah Talk Show" for the first time. Happy that he continued to show off this on the show, and ridiculed Oprah for not talking about friendship, and gave him a guest who created a ratings miracle.
With "Rush Hour" falling to a total box office of $271.45 million, becoming the 1991 North American box office champions, Cheng Long and Chris Swift became big stars as they wished, and they were besieged by reporters every day whenever they appeared.
"AloneHome1" hit a box office of 260 million, and a "RushHour" once again broke the box office record of "Alonehome". And that genius director likes to make sequels the most, the "Alonehome" series is three in one shot, so will "RushHour" be another three? In the minds of entertainment reporters, there is a thought, God, China Ming is really as fans say, is he your illegitimate child?
Sun Ziming, who has continuously broken the box office record of Hollywood comedy movies and won three superstars in one fell swoop, finally made the media praise the sky. A hat of "Hollywood's No. 1 comedy director" was firmly worn by the New York Times on Sun Ziming's head. The stubborn "Times Special Issue" still uses Sun Ziming's photos as covers and features in the Asian edition, and he is so angry that he scolds.
The Americans' praise has been quoted by major media in the mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia, setting off another wave of even more fierce praise. Now Sun Ziming is no longer the biggest director in Hong Kong, and let the media be named 'Asia's No. 1 director', removing the original business before the first, even Kurosawa Akira and Kitano Takeshi can only follow him to eat ashes, not to mention a few who won the Silver Bear Award and the Golden Lion Award.
The outside world is disturbed, and Cheng Long and Swift appear in newspapers and TV every day to consolidate their popularity. After Sun Ziming participated in "Late Night Talk Show", he never appeared in public again, as if he disappeared overnight, making the reporters who wanted to interview him jump around like headless flies.
β¦β¦
At noon, in No. 369 Forlì Hills under the winter sun, Sun Ziming, Juanzi and Jiaming were lying on the lawn of their new home with their daughters playing. When the eldest sister planted her head and wanted to sleep, Sun Ziming took her into his arms and gently shook her to sleep.
"Cut, you don't know that 'my daughter is my father's little lover in my last life'?"
"What about Mom?"
"Close-fitting padded jacket?"
The two tilted their heads and thought about it, it really made sense, and when their daughter fell asleep, the three of them got up and went back to the house, Juanzi was a little worried: "Ziming, I see that Brother Long is either interviewed by the newspaper or on TV every day, you accompany us every day, it won't affect you, right?" β
"Hey, I'm different from him, he just became popular in the United States, and he has to let fans remember him, that's the way. I'm just a director, why do you want such a high exposure? Besides, if I go with him, I will inevitably take away the limelight from him, so why bother? β
"That?"
Sun Ziming smiled and explained: "It's nothing, you see Brother Jing and Wei Qiang, aren't they all like this?" Directors are different from actors, we eat with our brains, they eat with our faces. β
Jiaming next to him covered his mouth and smiled, "Don't worry, as long as Ziming can make a good movie, fans don't care if there is news about him in the newspaper." Besides, Ziming is already popular enough, even "Vanity Fair" took the initiative to let him be on the cover, and no matter how popular it is, let them cook it! β
put her daughter into the baby room, and Juanzi pulled her grandson Ming to nest on the sofa, "Ziming, I accepted the invitation of CCTV and prepared to go to their Spring Festival Gala." β
"Well, I know, Sister Hong called me."
The two were a little gloomy, and after the media broke the news that they were married, Juanzi's popularity overseas plummeted, and now she can only try her best to keep her popularity in the mainland.
Sun Ziming didn't think about letting Juanzi come to the United States to develop, took her new record sample, and took her to meet the heads of several record companies, but the two of them returned disappointed. People have a point, maybe fans can still accept a yellow-skinned and white-hearted Chinese singer, but it is impossible to accept a Chinese singer through and through. Music is a thing that relies on emotional resonance, and music without emotion, no matter how good the melody is and how good the singing skills are, it will not be able to win the recognition of fans after all.
"Sister Hong signed Mary, and the sample of "Bigbigword" was also recorded, and she sang well. She'll be in the U.S. at nine o'clock in the evening, and you can pick it up. β
Sun Ziming sighed, the Divine Comedy was 'written' to Juanzi by himself, but he didn't expect to make a wedding dress for others.
"Well, on New Year's Day, the Bulls faced the Lakers, and I arranged for her to sing at halftime. Hey, how's her dancing? β
Speaking of Mary, Juanzi came to her senses, and the little girl learned to sing with herself for three years. If she can't realize her dreams, she can help her realize them, and that is also a continuation of her dreams!
"Very good, she's studied ballet and she's also studied modern dance in the UK."
Sun Ziming thought about it and remembered the last time he was at Laura's birthday party, his game "Babyonemoretime". Mary sang well at the time, so it was better to find someone to choreograph for her, and Britney was still a child actress on Broadway anyway......
After sending away his wife and children, Sun Ziming went directly to Warner Records to find Liszt, "Ming? Wow, how do you have time to come and see me? β
It's been three years, and this ghost's Cantonese is still so slippery, it seems that he still misses the days in Hong Kong. Ever since Warner missed "Alonehome", this guy has transferred the head office back from Hong Kong, and he is called the deputy director of Warner Records, but in fact, he has no power and has become a victim of high-level struggle.
"Li, look at this song, can you find someone to help me make it up and come up with an accompaniment tape?"
Liszt took a look, the melody and lyrics were very simple, and he wondered: "Ming, this is not like your style, this song can only be sung by children, right?" β
"Good, this is for a sixteen-year-old child, can you do it in one day?"
"It's easy, I'll take you to a friend. He runs an independent record label and will be able to get the accompaniment tape by this time tomorrow. β
